There are plenty of other quantum phenomena which can be tapped. Essentially all one needs to do is to build a very high gain amplifier "baddly". The main difficulty is removing bias.
The main difficulty is that it is extremely hard to prove to yourself that you are amplifying a quantum phenomenon and not deterministic noise from the rest of the circuits in the machine or outside it. As I've said repeatedly, its nearly impossible to get this wrong with a radiation detecting mechanism, but its very very hard to get it right with most common mechanisms. Perry
